Quiz: Which 90’s TV Parent Are You?

Landlines hogged, Walkman broken, brand new Sega Mega Drives demanded for Christmas, and every draw clogged up with Tamagotchis – there’s no denying that nineties parents had it hard. Luckily there were a whole host of TV families living out the same dramas on our screens and (maybe) helping to shape us into the parents we are today. But out of all the iconic nineties TV parents, which one most matches your parenting style?

How many children do you have?

Loads. I like my household noisy and full of fun.

Just the one, they might be a little spoiled but they’re my pride and joy.

I like to be conventional so two or three. I’d have 2.4 if it was possible.

Correct!

Wrong!

-

Your child does something really naughty, how do you react?

I’ll sit them down and talk to them about why I’m upset. Punishment never works, in my opinion.

We have a strict and organised structure of punishments ranging from TV bans to full grounding depending on the severity of the incident.

Yelling. Just… so much yelling.

Correct!

Wrong!

-

It’s your turn to make dinner, what’s cookin’?

It depends on whether we had takeaway last night. I can’t remember. Probably takeaway.

It depends on what my child feels like eating. I’m quite a homebody so it’ll be something warm, comforting and homemade.

It depends which course you’re talking about. Either way it’ll be made from the best ingredients and there’ll be more than one type of cutlery.

Correct!

Wrong!

-

What does your child’s bedroom look like?

It can be a bit messy. They seem to use all their storage for hiding secrets from me.

Full of the latest gadgets and very neat (but only because we have a cleaner.)

I haven’t seen the floor in years. I think something else lives in there besides my child.

Correct!

Wrong!

-

What’s your favourite thing to do as a family?

Something nice and peaceful like baking together or going for a long walk.

A trip to the local museum so we can all learn something together.

Catching the latest movie at the cinema with loads of popcorn and probably too many sweets.
